   A new business space company in China started to develop a kind of new spaceship in 2017.People with enough money may be able to go on space journeys about ten years later.
   Han Qingping，the president of China Rocket Corporation（公司），said the company would develop a kind of spaceship that can take three to five travelers.It can reach a height of 80 km above the ground.The height is right in the top part of the mesosphere（中間層），higher than planes and balloons can travel，but just below the height where satellites（衛(wèi)星）fly.There travelers will have a new way to watch the mother planet and they can experience weightlessness as well.
